Sixth Street School Plans

It could be some time before Community Living Fort Frances District determines exactly what it wants to do with the former Sixth Street School in Fort Frances.

The agency purchased the vacant school and property for a dollar from the Rainy River District School Board.

Executive Director Alanna Barr says it could be a resources centre, but there's a lot of planning to do first.

"We're just looking at our options," says Barr. "and considering what is our best options that will meet our need, not only in the long-term, but in the short term as well."

Barr says its likely the existing school will be demolished as it is not accessible and would be too costly to bring it up to standard.
